Cool, that sounds like a nice addition to the API. I'm not sure I
understand the Reset() part though. Do you mean that after reading
events from a select() or poll() that Reset() should be called to clear
the events? Is there a possibility of an event sneaking into the event
buffer between fetching and Reset(), and thereby losing the event?
I've currently implemented a second thread in my program that puts the
events into a pipe, like you suggested. This works for now, but in the
future I look forward to using the new CreateFileDescriptor function :)
Thanks again.
